I've owned the Ridgid R86211B for about a year now, I've removed 3 transmissions including removing the rusted exhaust from Canadian winters, almost completely took apart a ford explorer for parting out, removing old rust bolts on abused farm equipment, and a trailer ball rusted to a bumper that my friend bent his breaker bar on trying to loosen. No power loss yet, no damage to the exterior and I have a bad habit of tossing it onto my gravel driveway. It's definitely worth the I'd say, especially if you live where the bottom of vehicles become rust.

Upgraded from an older 18v kit. kzbin.infoUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.

@@TorqueTestChannel The Octane batteries (branded Force) here in Australia never had bluetooth, it looks like they're sticking around but they may drop the 3AH given they've always been special order for us and the new compact line steps into that area.

[@kylefowler5082]

First off the Octane line has been officially canceled. I dont know it for a fact but I believe the Octane line was canceled because alot of people had bluetooth connectivity issues with the batteries. Alot of perfectly good batteries have been warrantied because the Bluetooth was screwy. I never even bothered with it myself. Also I loved the Octane line because it was pro level tools at budget prices but I don't think they sold well. They definitely weren't advertised well compared to Milwaukee Fuel.

Awesome value along with the lifetime service agreement. I bought that Ridgid when it first came out. The 3.0 octane battery works out great with it. It has a wider stance so it stands up it my service cart nicely. There is barely any stall taking out lugnuts, it zips them out fast and gets the job done! I’ve been tempted to buy more 3.0 batteries, I believe the two packs are still going for $85 on clearance! Awesome video! Thanks!

I have had the Ridgit for a year now it works GR8. And I happen to see it today on Amazon for $156 that's a GR8 buy for one that beat them all.

I used to like ridgid. But this whole thing dropping the octane to release a worse tool and battery for more money pushed me away. Its like hey lets show the world we can make good tools for a great price then take them away and make something crappier for more money. All they had to do was take out the bluetooth, not drop the whole line. So stupid n such BS!!! Also my brother and i never had good luck with their drills and recips.

[@dmarting6014]

I know this is kind of stupid, but I really wish you guys would have come out and said that you had tested this higher performing Ridged impact when you first tested it. I think a lot of people use these videos as a review of the products and not publishing a video on the product because you wanted to test the other ones first (while showing each of those) seems more like you wanted to save the best for last. But you have been continually saying that the Milwaukee is the best performing despite knowing that it wasn't. I still appreciate all the work you guys do it just seems a little less facts and a little more show to do it this way. I am sure a lot of people have already purchased the Milwaukee thinking it was the most powerful.

[@TorqueTestChannel]

It may stink as a viewer as bit, but the fact is we do this all the time because when we first test stuff we dont really know anything about them. We needed to test several different air hammers to know that rig was working correctly. This was our 2nd high torque and for all we knew our dyno could not read cordless impacts correctly without buying more models. This happened to us with 3/4" air impacts, our 1st one was a dog, not a whole lot more beans than a 1/2". Instead of just publishing that and defacing the brand we got a few more over the next couple month and realized our air system, heck even plugging a 3/4" impact into 3/4" cast iron pipe does not supply enough air to keep it fed to the manufacturers spec. May be your 1st time hearing this and that's because we like to gather context and info before we spread around our random thoughts and assumptions. We have to do this with different batteries, different tools like impact drivers and more all the time. If we published stuff as soon as we shot it, it would be us just talking out our behinds. As video on the Ridgid when we got it would have been about how M18's is overrated and it took us 1 try to beat it, followed by a couple months of us being wrong over and over again. But anyone watching just that video would have a poor picture of the M18's performance - which is actually still at the very top.

Good job. I do wish y'all would show a chart that removes the weighting for size and the marketing claims (i.e. just performance with a price-performance component).

[@rmkscrambler]

If I were to take a guess having never used either impact. The ridgid is probably based off the milwaukee useing cheaper materials. Cheaper materials results in larger size and more weight. Larger size and more weight result in less tool movement aka wrist breaking score which means more of the "impact force" is transferred to the bolt vs the tool.

Great video guys. To be fair Milwaukee’s 6.0 HO has pretty much become the new normal and replaced the 5.0. No one is going out and buying XC 5.0s anymore unless they get them in a kit. And in one of your previous video’s you showed that the M18 6.0 HO puts out the most energy out of all batteries so throwing that on the M18 would result in a win over the Rigid would it not? Like I said great video, and I know the M18 high torque comes kitted with a 5.0 but that’s kinda using old technology vs new even though Milwaukee has it available. Keep the videos coming, I look forward to them every week.

6:50 is an HD12.0 battery

[@derekbross6958]

@@TorqueTestChannel Ya you bet, I saw. All I was getting at is that people will say well that’s not fair, Milwaukee needed a 12 amp pack to beat Rigid’s 3.0 pack but in all honesty Milwaukee’s 6.0 pack would do even better then the 12.0 pack. And I’m sure you know better then I do but does Milwaukee’s 3.0 HO do better then their XC 5.0? I’m just saying the XC 5.0 is outdated and lacks performance compared to all the new packs. Not disagreeing with anyone, love your videos.

Please test a Ingersoll rand w7152 electric high torque

[@z28z34man]

Awesome. Do you have any plans to test the metabo hpt 36v. I like mine and I would like to see how it stacks up with the TTI offerings and it would be neat to see a run battery powered vs the ac adapter

[@stevendobbs7318]

Awesome as always and very helpful. I’ve been impressed with everything I’ve bought based on this channel. Any chance of seeing what one of those higher amp batteries would do on the Ridgid?

[@TorqueTestChannel]

They are only 18650 cells, and being discontinued so we're going to wait for some new big batteries to do more testing, and some regular max output as well I think.

@@TorqueTestChannel ah ok, thanks for the reply and info! Keep up the good work!

How about trying that Ridgid 211 with the new 8ah 21700 battery?

[@Cool_Hand_Luke77]

Great video! That’s exactly what I was looking for! Unfortunately I can’t find R86211B anymore. What is it’s replacement and could you do comparison video between old ridgid and it’s new replacement. 🙏

[@willb7758]

Try the 12.0 in the Milwaukee vs the 9.0 ridge battery……..lol please

[@ourkid2000]

I have a couple Ridgid Octane tools.....the drill, impact driver, and the 1/2" impact. They came with the weak sauce batteries. I do not see Octane batteries available anymore around here.....will the new gen batteries perform as well?

[@Awackypenguin]

I think the best part of this tool is the fact that it comes with their lifetime service thing. Not even Milwaukee offers that
